We Arrived in Surfers Paradise yesterday and spent that resting from our long drive. Krystal and I took a walk on the beach and went in the hotel pool before catching up on some missed internet time!
Today Krystal and I went to Dreamworld which is like an Amuesement Park and Zoo kinda combined in one. We got there when it opened at 10 and we stayed till 5. The rides were pretty cool, We went on 2 water ones and them some other thrill ones. The park is divided into a bunch of areas theres Nickelodoen Central and Australian Wildlife Experience (theres a bunch of animals there) Theres another one called Gold Rush County, Tiger Island (pretty self explanitory - Such cute tigers!) Then theres Dream world studios which houses...... The Australia Big Brother House!! I though that was pretty sweet! You get to walk through the house and see all the behind the scences stuff and then walk through the rooms. It probably would have been sweeter if we saw the show but it was still pretty cool. We've been finding this in australia have been quite more expensive than canada and this was no different - at the house you can pay to get your picture takin in the diary chair, for 20$! and you cant use your own cameras. We thought that was ridiculous! And its crazy just how little privacy they have!
Another are is called Wiggles World, Based off of the show The Wiggles, and As I walked through there I know Jonah would have just loved it there! I took tons of pictures and even a video, Everything there is Wiggles, the Rides the food places - All wiggles all the time!
But the best part of the entire day was Krystal and I got to hold KOALAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was sooo exciting, they are so cute and cuddly and AH I just loved them! We even got our picture taken with them! ( I will post it later!) Also with the Koalas is a Kangaroo Enclosure, There was like 10-15 Kangaroos just hanging out, no trainers or anything just them hanging out, you can go up to them and pet them and take pictures. It was so much fun! It got me excited for the Australia Zoo on Sunday!!
Today Krystal and I were getting food and the woman serving us said "where are you from? you have such strong accents" we found that quite funny seeing as we dont think we have the accents but they do! Also when we told her we were from Canada she said she had never seen snow before, I found that crazy to think some people havent seen snow before - I've seen enough to last me a life time!
We did that allllllll day and then just came back to the hotel. I'm quite sleepy and plan on going to bed pretty early to rest up for our beach day tomorrow ( hopefully!)
Thats all from Surfers Paradise! I'll post some pics below!
